The article examines China's activity in the development of checkpoints with the DPRK in 2001–2020, which is correlated with a gradual growth in the volume of freight traffic between countries in the period under study and an increase in China's share in North Korea's foreign trade. Mainly based on Chinese sources, the article provides an overview of the checkpoints between the PRC and the DPRK. The result of the work is the conclusion that intensive and advanced development of Chinese-North Korean checkpoints became an important element of PRC's border policy, which ensured the dominant role of Beijing in the foreign economics of DPRK. It was found that during the deterioration of economic and political relations of the DPRK with Russia, South Korea and Japan, China intensively modernized checkpoints with North Korea along the whole border line. This activity played an important role in the formation of China as a key foreign trade partner of the DPRK. This thesis is proved by considering the progress of modernization in 2001–2020 for each Chinese-North Korean checkpoint, and an assessment of the development of border crossing systems between countries.

Tolerance in Domestic National Politics: Conditions, Risks, and Opportunities
The article considers the issue of tolerance as a value set-up implemented in domestic politics. The analysis of the concept of tolerance shows that it is a value-based attitude built on the recognition of human dignity. One of the main reasons for intolerantness is the mismatch of value hierarchies in people or social groups. Based on the developed understanding of tolerance and analysis of the material the principle of spiritual health of the person (or social group) is formulated, on the basis of which the solution of the problem of the boundaries of tolerance is proposed. Issues and ways of resolving conflicts related to unacceptable beliefs and customs of social and ethnic groups are considered.
Key words: tolerance, folk custom, ethnic group, spiritual and moral values, internal politics

The Community and the State: Modern Tools of Competitive Development
In most cases, the State owes its appearance to the community. The further development of political institutions adversely affected the state of the community itself. Self-government, guaranteed by a modern democratic State, ensured the survival and adaptation of the community. The local urbanized community has taken the form of a neighborhood community. Today, the proposed regulations for the implementation of local self-government through territorial public self-government can consolidate the political and legal status of the neighboring community and thereby strengthen the foundation of statebuilding.
Key words: state, government, community, local self-government, competition, territorial self-government (TSG)

The article reviews the book of Michael Robert Auslin "Asia’s New Geopolitics. Essay on Reshaping the Indo-Pacific". The book outlines direction and prospects for the development of a macro-regional project which reflects the endeavors of the USA to ensure common security. The review analyzes the author’s provisions concerning Washington’s intentions and actions to enlist the support of allies and partners whose interests coincide with that of American and aimed at staving off the proliferation of threats posed by China's international politics. The author draws attention to the fact that the American vision of FOIP (Free and Open Indo-Pacific) implies not so much to seek opportunities from cooperation with China but presumes a policy to prevent China's geopolitical superiority in strategically important geographical areas.
